H EATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,115, dated April11, 1899. Application filed May 31,1898. Serial No. 682,180. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern:

Be it kn own that I, HENRY O. BAKER, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at Quincy, in the county of Adams and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves; andI do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon.

This invention relates to improvements in heating-stoves; and itconsists in certain novel details of construction and combinations andarrangements of parts, all as will be now described, and. the particularfeatures ofnovelty pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of a stoveconstructed in ac-' cordance with the present invention. Fig. 2 is ahorizontal section on the line 00 00, Fig. 1.

Like letters of reference in both figures indicate the same parts.

The letter A represents the outer shell or body of the stove, ofsheet-iron and preferably elliptical in form, having the bottom B andthe top C.

Located within the body A, near the bottom, is a division-plate D,dividing the body into an upper and a lower chamber, the latterconstituting the ash-pit E.

Extending down into the body of the stove and resting on thedivision-plate is a fuelmagazine F, preferably cylindrical in form,closed at the top by a cover G and inclosing at the bottom the fire-pot,which latter is supported in the division-plate D, and in the back ofthe magazine near the top is an opening F, all as clearly shown in Fig.1.

The fuel-magazine F, it will be noted, is located a short distance fromthe front of the body of the stove, so that there is a space leftbetween the wall of the magazine and stove-body, as shown in Fig. 2. p

Extending down into the stove-body, at the rear thereof, is a draft-pipeG, which pipe at the top communicates with the usual pipe for carrying01f the products of combustion.

The draft-pipe G extends down below the top level of the fire-pot towithin a short distance of the division-plate D. r

At a point in the wall of the stove-body opposite the opening in themagazine F is. an opening H,the size of the opening being regulated bymeans of a ventilating-damper, and air from the room will be drawn inand pass around the magazine F, down and thence up the draft-pipe,thereby securing perfect ventilation. The air through the upperventilating check-draft opening, it will be noted, never comes incontact with the fire, and thus the life of the fire will be prolongedand also resulting in the saving of fuel.

In the ash-pit door I is an ordinary draftopening I.

In starting the fire the upper ventilating check-draft is closed and thelower ash-pit draft opened, the draft passing up through' leaving aspace between the wall of the magazine and stove-body, resting on thedivisionplate and having the opening in the back near the top, adraft-pipe extending into the stovebody at the rear to within a shortdistance of the division-plate, an upper ventilating checkdraft openingin the front of the stove-body above the fire-pot, and a lowerdraft-opening below the fire-pot; substantially as and for the purposeset forth.

HENRY C. BAKER.
